The Sea Serpent On Ice.

A telegram from Tivoh, N. Y, December 81, says:
The captain Of the schooner Mary Ann, from down
east, was the first person who the sea serpent
near Kingston Point last summer. 1t has re-
manned, however, for man named Brown, who
lives out back OF Saugerties, to the serpent in
the Hudson in the winter. Brown reached TiyoM
to-day, en- route for points south Like pretty
much everybody else who has seen the serpent,
Brown was perfectly SOBER" He said that at the
commencement OF the heavy SnOwStOrm yesterday
morning he walked considerable distance up the
Hudson for the purpose OF setting his nets in the
ice. Brown found great crack in the ice. He
kept tramping on. Suddenly, according to Brown,
he felt a sensation as though the ice were being
lifted up beneath him. He says he saw the ice
making similar crack to the one he had jumped
over a short distance to the southwark. Brown
says that befure the waving OF the ice had ceased
a trange-lOOktng ANIMAL with two eyes nearly as
big as saucers and OF the color Of terra Gotta,
glared at him hefcely. The head OF the beast re-
NAMED above the ice for several seconds, and
Brown says he had an excellent opportunity OF
seeing It. Brown thinks 1t is the serpent that
was seen OF Kingston Point and elsewhere along
shore last summer, and that the billowy motion
he describes In the ice was caused by the serpent
flashing its tail. Brown is the first man on record
In these parts who has seen the serpent after De-
Ice on the frozen Hudson is being eagerly watched
by untfrtng small boys, bOatmen who have moth
ing else to do except to chew tobacco and 'swap
lies" at corner groceries, and perhaps one or two
OF the wise Washington scientists who gave their
views so gravely to the public and who fought so
bitterly among themselves over the matter when
the serpent was seen at Kingston Point.

Fatal Form Of Rheumanaism.

standing its prevalence 1t is probable that the pc
culiar form OF It that proved fatal TO General
Logan is now heard for the first time by many per-
sons. Commonly, rheumatism is fatal only when
II touches the heart, and that complication aside
1t turns rather upon Its fortunes than upon any APP
prehension OF Immediate danger to life. Cerebral
rheumatism Is however, often fatal In a very few
hours Nobody has vet discovered why In any
given case this disease leaves the Joints and as
sails the brain, nor yet why this complication is SO
uncommon. Rheumatism assails particularly one
tissue OF the body. This Is what the ANTAGONISTS
cal! the white nbrous tissue This tissue Is the
material part OF all the JOINTS ft forms the valves
OF the heart and envelopes and sustains the brain.
Reasoning simply from the acknowledged relation
OF rheumatism to the white nbrous tissue IL
might be supposed that the brain would be more
exposed TO its ravages than any other organ There
Is none In which this tissue Is so abundant En-
PLANTATION OF the proclivity OF this disease to touch
the joints turns entirely upon the TACT that these
are mainly masses OF the white fibrous tissue,
which also Is abundant in the heart and its APP
pendages, and I'm the brain. The fact makes the
cerebral variation a natural one, and humanity
may rejoice in the fact that for some reason or
other II Is rare one.

LAST YEAR WAS A GOOD ONE AND THE PRosFDcs
FOR THIS YEAR ARE BRIGHT.
The bulletin OF the American Iron and steel
association, published yesterday, contains re-
view OF the iron and steel Industries OF the United
States during the year. II says iron and steel
industries were especially active during 1855, and
this activity was fairly distributed throughout
the year. An improvement in the condition OF
most OF these industries had commenced In 1855.

bear most favorable relation TO our producing
capacity. Our production in 1885 or pig iron,
Bessemer steel and steel rails open-hearth steel,
structural iron and steel and some other products
has been much larger than In lsSs and our pro-
auetion OF pug iron, Bessemer Steel BesseneI steer
rails ana open-hearth steel has been much the
largest In our history. During 1895 this country
built over 1900 miles OF new railroad, against
